Collagen and its role in cosmetics what is collagen? the word collagen is derived from kolla, the greek word for glue. collagen is the primary protein in your body. scientific studies show that more than 90% of the collagen found in our body is collagen type i and iii. it is an essential and major component of muscles, tendons, cartilage, ligaments, bones, gums, teeth, eyes and blood vessels. the main structural component of the lower layer of the skin (dermis) is a protein called collagen. bundles of collagen molecules pack together throughout the dermis, accounting for three-fourths of the dry weight of skin. collagen is also responsible for the skin´s strength. collagen is produced by cells called fibroblasts, which are found scattered throughout the dermis. collagen is a connective tissue and is the cement that holds everything together-the primary mortar between the bricks of all of our smooth muscle tissues such as blood vessels, digestive tract, heart, gallbladder, kidneys and bladder, to mention just a few. collagen, along with elastin, is a key structural component of bones, cartilage, tendons, the skin, lung tissue and blood vessels. collagen provides structure and firmness to body tissues, while elastin provides flexibility to those same tissues. as aging occurs, cellular proteins hook together or change shape. these changes keep the proteins from doing their jobs properly resulting in a loss of collagen and less firmness to body tissues. this process eventually leads to wrinkles. thus, one important target of wrinkle prevention and elimination regimen is to reduce collagen breakdown and increase its supply. this task is achievable but you have to go about it in the right way. everyday your skin is exposed to environmental elements such as sunlight and air pollution. these elements cause free radicals to form in the skin, which attacks the collagen layer. this process prematurely ages and damages skin, resulting in everything from fine lines and wrinkles to loss of elasticity and hyper pigmentation. this process is known as photo-aging. first, anti oxidants like vitamin c or vitamin e is essential for the synthesis of collagen, a key structural protein of the skin. adding anti oxidants to a culture of skin cells (fibroblasts) dramatically increases the synthesis of collagen. secondly, vitamin c is an antioxidant and can help reduce skin damage caused by free radicals. so, when anti oxidants is properly delivered to skin cells, there is a good chance to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture. antioxidant provide protection from environmental damage. using face creams anti oxidents with collagen will stimulate skin cells to produce collagen and can partly reverse this process. stimulating collagen synthesis in aged skin was shown to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture. a unique formulation of collagen with aloe vera facial cream that improves complexion nourishes and makes the skin soft. regular use prevents oxidative skin damage, skin laxity, appearance of wrinkles and improves skin texture. it gives skin protections against dark spots, freckle and darking. a gentle blend of pure collagen with aloe vera impregnated on mask. it is designed to reduce the skin aging process, eliminates wrinkles, and leaves the skin with a refined and to regulate moisture.
